White chocolate instead of coconut

I have been trying to figure out how to create the look of coconut with clay, but it came out looking like shavings of white chocolate or rice. Two good  ideas...interesting to know...wheee. I love how my failures are also successes. I am going to keep trying to figure out this coconut thing..maybe I will come up with more successful failures.

Research

Today I have been doing research on Art and Craft Festivals. It seems that it is very expensive to set up a booth at most shows. I might look into that farther once I start making some income.

I at least found something interesting to do in Battle Creek this weekend..

Experimentation

I am experimenting. I created a king cake charm. It was partially successful and partially not sure. I mixed acrylic paint with liquid sculpy and that worked for tinting the clay. I also put glitter on the piece before putting it in the oven. The glitter melted and elongated. It became strings of plastic. I am not sure how I feel about that...

Wheee

I recently opened an etsy.com shop. I only have 8 items listed at the moment. We will see what happens. I am more interested in creating then selling, but I wouldn't mind sharing my crafts with the world. :)
